Edward Roy Whittemore, 63, was born July 19, 1959 in Denver, Colorado, and died March 15, 2023 surrounded by family. Known for his strong work ethic, Ed was a sheet metal worker and had recently retired from Steel T. Ed’s love for life was evident by the various activities he loved doing which included traveling with his wife, skiing, camping, and spending time with family. He was very proud of the two houses he built in Bailey, and he also knew how to relax well by going to the hot springs and getting massages. Ed will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
Ed is survived by his wife of six years, DeAnna Whittemore; mother Violet Whittemore; sisters Karen Katrien, Nancy Whittemore, Ellen (Randy) Williams; daughters Erica (Chris) Johnson, Libby (Ben) Lippoth, Grace Whittemore; and granddaughter Emma Durant. Ed was preceded in death by his father Norman Whittemore and his daughter Breanna Whittemore.
